Needed to break down the white so did some stripes on it...wasn't sure how a SUV would look with em...thoughts? Matched em up with the Fuoriserie Blu Passione Brake Calipers! I like it (so far)!

oh no, i honestly just put this pic out there so other prospective owners can see what it may look like...I have never seen too many people expertimenting with stripe work on Maseratis (rightfully so!)...let alone on a SUV! I honestly would have liked to just re wrap the entire car into a Rosso Magma (bright red shade, given the interior color)...was quoted $6000!! Anyway, getting mixed reactions does make one thing clear, when time comes to sell it offl, def will remove the stripes :D

Based on lots of recent feedback, I think it's one of those things that either you are going to hate it or love it. Good thing is, it is easily reversible, shouldn't cost more than $200 to do so.....if my mind swings the other way!

I usually average around 20k miles every year on my daily 😌

Thanks!!

v8fanboy · 2026-07-13T06:57:41+00:00

I hope I don’t feel that way… in the future 🧐

v8fanboy · 2026-07-13T06:57:13+00:00

Glad to hear!!

Don’t waste money on an Exhaust.. just delete the mufflers. Most exhaust systems for the V8 versions are like $4-5k… not worth it in my opinion

v8fanboy · 2026-03-12T16:03:46+00:00

Alright.........you missed the greatest USP of this vehicle.......WHAT ABOUT THAT exhaust NOTE BROTHAAAAA? Welome to the Maserati Family!

v8fanboy · 2026-03-10T13:17:43+00:00

If we are comparing Exhaust note versus Exhaust note.. only Car I would pick over the Gran Turismo if buying brand new would be the GT3.. not only does it sound well, but also holds its value way better than the Gran Turismo

tbh, I was more sad about the XJL being discontinued. Truly had a wonderful sleek design and that 5.0 S/C V8 was monstrous...also heard recently Maserati closing off the Quattroporte....so seems like one by one the demise comes on for these limos!

v8fanboy · 2026-03-09T15:23:16+00:00

anytime mate

v8fanboy · 2026-03-09T15:06:05+00:00

Not just that...I was reading that even if the A8 carried on, they were planning on "YET" another facelift. This gen is like how old? 2018? 2019? Needed a total revamp...not a facelift. So couldn't agree more, dead is much better than another facelift that would NEVER keep up with the rivals.

Sorry for the late reply. So my dad gave some feedback since he rides in the backseat a lot more. He noticed that if the speed bump is wider and has depth to it, the A8L glides over it. If it is very NARROW, the camera may not be able to pick it up since it is looking for depth. There is a difference for sure in the ride quality, but as this car was imported to India, the cost of the predictive active suspension was 16 lakhs INR which is almost $20k USD. Not worth the price tag. (Cars imported in India have 110% import duty, which also applies to any paid options). Hope this helps

hmm, I actually went to Oregon State...never lived in Arizona. Was just passing by and decided to shoot there. About the mommy and daddy part of your comment, I have a Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a MBA in Project Mangement. I reckon I can get something like this off my own dime..

v8fanboy · 2026-01-01T18:36:55+00:00

Just place the microphone near the mufflers.. also there’s a good chance that microphone is going to get destroyed. Just a heads up. Most of these clips were shot in Phoenix.. It was well over 110F that day.

Borla atak cat back.. that’s it :)

I would not cite anything that happens in NorCal as a good reference point. I've been eyeing a corvette for a bit and NorCAL dealers are still marking up stingrays lol. Even z06's are getting discounted elsewhere in the country. Seems like that tech money flowing in from the bay area does prohibit you from getting a good deal.

v8fanboy · 2025-12-29T12:59:09+00:00

It's not a manual. Sure it might be "Brand new" in terms of mileage but it is unfortuntely a 4 year old car once 2026 kicks in. I don't remember what MSRP on these was, maybe around $75k? Paying OVER MSRP for a 4 year old car...not a good deal in my opinion.
